Gute Freunde - Der Aufstieg des FC Bayern S01E05 - Uli Hoeneß

Uli Hoeneß continues to shake the romantic original idea of the 'eleven friends who stand by each other and go through thick and thin together.' Hoeneß thinks big, even bigger than Manager Schwan. The 'fastest striker in Europe' senses that there is a business hidden in football, one that has not yet fully tapped its potential. As the son of a butcher, he learned early on what it means to generate an optimal profit margin. This knowledge now serves him well as a football professional: He organizes autograph sessions, home stories, and advertising contracts, not only for himself but also for his teammates, especially Paul Breitner. This doesn't sit well with everyone, especially Franz Beckenbauer, who is bothered by his teammate's entrepreneurial ambition.
